Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Is this different than hosting an ftp server?

You can't browse your files. You upload files and get a link that you can share. I'm not the dev, just a user of Pingvin Share.

But that's not cool. Looks like you also can't use your built-in system for managing the daemon/service and you have to install node.js.

Can't deploy the latest micro service you found on github without some docker bullshit.

With that said. I'm not shitting on the project itself - it looks great and I'm sure it serves a purpose.
